療養(yǎng)院為孩子們打開了“不給糖就搗蛋”的大門

這是第一次，這家療養(yǎng)院為孩子們打開了“不給糖就搗蛋”的大門，接待了5000多名游客

No matter if you’re young or old, most of us love Halloween. What’s not to love? The streets get filled with joyous trick-or-treaters, adults get a chance to play dress-up, and homes are filled with massive quantities of candy. However, a retirement home is not the first place trick-or-treaters think of when they go on their hunt. But as it turns out, the elderly, who live in nursing homes and already feel lonely as it is, can’t wait for the kids to come up to ask for candy. Just recently, one nursing home in Webster, Texas took it to Facebook to ask people to donate candy which they could give out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Not only did people donate candy, but thousands of them came to celebrate All Hallows Eve together with the elderly, leaving them ecstatic.

不管你是年輕人還是老年人，我們大多數(shù)人都喜歡萬圣節(jié)。為什么不去愛呢?街道上到處都是歡樂的“不給糖就搗蛋”的人，大人們有機(jī)會打扮一番，家家戶戶都堆滿了糖果。然而，當(dāng)“不給糖就搗蛋”的人去“打獵”時(shí)，養(yǎng)老院并不是他們想到的第一個(gè)地方。但事實(shí)證明，住在養(yǎng)老院的老人已經(jīng)感到孤獨(dú)，他們等不及孩子們上來要糖果了。就在最近，德克薩斯州韋伯斯特的一家養(yǎng)老院在Facebook上邀請人們捐贈糖果，他們可以在萬圣節(jié)給“不給糖就搗蛋”的人。人們不僅捐贈糖果，而且成千上萬的人來和老人一起慶祝萬圣節(jié)，讓他們欣喜若狂。
